Further key milestone for materials manufacturer on the stock markets

Covestro included in the STOXX index

Inclusion in the STOXX Europe 600 index, which comprises 600 companies from 18 countries across Europe means that Covestro is now also listed in an international share index.

“We are delighted to be included in this important index family,” says Covestro CFO Frank H. Lutz. “The move is a reflection of the great interest displayed by investors and the gratifying performance of our stock since our IPO. It will raise the visibility of Covestro shares on the international financial markets in the future.”
